The project aims to give people access to the openly available Earth observation imagery from the ESA and empower them to get the right information from this data. The project will be completely free to use, and the code will be open source. In the next 6 month, we will build an API to handle the user requests and translate them to the ESA technical interface. Afterwards, we create a simple as possible interface on this API. So, everything a user has to do is answering 3 simple questions: - What? Which information do I need? - Where? Which area do I want to observe? - When? Which time range I want to watch? Subsequently, we will provide the right data and step-by-step instructions to process the data. You are interested in the project and want to learn more about it?
